american idol.

American Idol is a broad term. One would assume when seeing that term that a certain American is idolized by all in America.

False.

You'd be hard pressed to find more than 17 people in America (or Dallas alone I bet) who idolize Taylor Hicks. And it's safe to say no one is going to idolize someone who had a Lifetime movie made about their life, aka Fantasia Barrino. I am thinking having a Lifetime movie made about you kind of makes you the very antithesis of someone worth idolizing.

This show dumbfounds me. Especially the people who go on it and get cut and then are are convinced their lives are over. It's like they think the only way to succeed at something is by going on a reality television show -- yeah, if life were only that easy.

Literally, a girl just said, "I have nothing else." Well, what the hell have you been doing for 23 years prior to this? When you were nine did you sit around and pray that someone would someday start a singing competition and you could be discovered through it? Doubtful. What happened to working hard and achieving a goal?
